great to see VnaV lepiy W my i00tei
He starts out by quoting the subject
of the great amount of happiness the
liquor manufacturer in the various kind
of liquors will have 10y stopping their
business and breaking them up. If
friend Taylor had saloon he could
see the matter in different light
Not much happiness in that Dir. Tay-
lor. There is net much danger that
we will have any trouble in the law,
that will be ratified this fall for such
reasoning as Mr.. I. gives will Lot re-
ceive the appreciation of very many
voters, he missed the mark very much
when ne said the laws was pissed
against the crime of murder and
THE, es. Now that is right, Lut is
there any law against man buying
any article of commerce Tie liquor
manufacturers has as soo,l "a right by |
all laws to his business rs the miller to |
make -four and he pays license to the
q. S. government anl county ana city.
Now If Mr.. Taylor can't see differ
ence between the crimes of murder
and theft, [ can't do him any good to
write for him, but would be glad for
him to find the time when murderers
and thieves ever got license for their
business; if he can, slfe can teach me
something new The Book of books
| tells me what goeth III at the mouth
defileth not, but what cometh cut. SO
| want friend Taylor to please study
the ten commandments and see If he
can find where drinking st:aiulents is
forbidden and please see the text where
our Savior made that wine, it was not
, water, as you say, but wine, and after
they had we'll drunken they said il
| was the best of wine at the last of the
2 feast Settle the matter with the bihle
t not with me. Now the next thing is
4 shall the manufacture of liquor be
stopped, and the millions of money
that the government gets by the liquors
Y be got direct from other ways, and are
It the voters ready to pay all damages
/ that the bill will cost, of course they
+ know that will have to be done No
one that votes for that amendment vii
C think for moment to sell the liquors
: my f,lend Taylor will not wait to sell
f it but turn it out on the streets, but
h not until all damage is paid. Oh, shame
e on the man that will compare liquor:
g to crime. Why St. Paul commanded
o Timothy to take wine for the stoEachs
It sake, and the use of Wine is as old as
o the bible, the best men of old drank
:. and it was counted 10 crime, old father
h Noah in Genesis 9th chapter, 24tl
|" verse and Noah awoke from his wine
is etc., Samuels, 9th chapter, 18th verse
" king David dealt out hagon of wine
% to whole multitude, women and ALL
m father Lot got drunk and he was
er warned by the angels out of Sodem.
Of The best man in the city got drunk,
N ] want it nnlerstnnl ! naEeG. Nv
fo 4 "inv "o.sny - la44eu 5000 out
le how many thousands of people have
n. been saved from death by alcohol
e. Now I have this to say, don't rob MS o
is our liberty and equalize us to criminal
of because some men get to much of ;
o good thing, and then it is IL bad thing
in Some men get too much money arc
IN use it for bad purposes. We are tolC
,h that the love of money Is the root 0
n all evil but my prohi friends woult
H. make us believe it is liquors is til
OF root of all evil. Liquor does SOM
us harm, will admit but how many NOR
Is does it benefit in the way Of medicine
IS, They tell you, oh you can have it fo
n medicine; how is sthat, if they won
ID allow it made, bought or sold? Tha
Is is the truth and there IS no nistak
ad in that, if you can't buy it or make il
III that will stop it unless they run tn
ed business without ony one knowing any
,k thing of the business, that will be don
"A the same as the game law is trcspassed
al My letter is getting 100 long, | mus
TO add this. l don't pretend to be SO yer
;, good neither too wise, but | think
,el can meet my friend Taylor and debat
If the question orally for | think wha
%. we both know would make sma
